I’m not surprised as I can’t remember the last Republican you have actually supported. I’ll be surprised if you publish this but I can’t let you get away with your myopic editorial.

Scott Murphy needs to be replaced NOW. He is clearly does not understand the ramifications of ObamaCare. He showed no backbone at all, crumbling to the pressure from Obama. What happened to the independent representative we elected ? The 1000 page bill does nothing to reduce costs … in fact it does the opposite. It raises “taxes” on everyone not just the “rich”. FSA’s/HSA’s have been slashed, insurers will be taxed/ subject to additional fees and have passed it along to us, and the same will happen with the future with pharmacy taxes. And let’s not forget the increased burden on small employers which will squelch more jobs or the medicare changes that hurt the our retirees and will force companies to dump their retiree heath coverage. Or the $ 1 Trillion cost we can ill afford. The inflation it will create will erode all of our savings.

Universal Healthcare is the right goal, but this bill is the wrong path and is not affordable. Where is the tort reform to stop the the ridiculous settlements that drive all our costs up ? What about solving the pharmacy issue instead of having the US fund R&D for the entire world ?

We need a rational, fiscally responsible legislator who will stand up for us. Clearly this is not Scott Murphy. I’m willing to give Chis Gibson a shot at helping to fix this mess.

The fact that most Americans did not want this heath care bill or many of the other bills that Murphy blindly voted for because he was told to do so is a poor reason to endorse a candidate. Most Americans are not radical leftists . The TU editorial board has yet to realize this. That is why the paper continues the slide into irrelevancy. These endorsements of all Democrats is no surprise to the reading public. That is agenda of the TU . The public be damned.
